Image description - A close-up image of a man (Dave Steele) with a thick, salt-and-pepper beard and intense eyes looking directly into the camera. He is using his fingers to form a rectangular frame over his right eye, mimicking the viewfinder of a camera. His expression is calm but thoughtful, drawing the viewer into his gaze. Superimposed text across the center of the image reads:
“THE FILM I’LL NEVER SEE”, with the word “SEE” blurred, symbolizing visual impairment.
At the bottom of the image, production credits appear in small text. Notably, the logos for ITV SignPost, BBC One, and Untruth are included.
